[Winona Online Democracy] I was able to find only older references to deep sea disposal and sea dumping...which, apparantly, are two very different kettles of fish...lol...Taiwan wanted to do it back in 1990, but there was an international prohibition in place until 1992...I would imagine that it was extended, but I do not know.
Sea dumping is just that...dump it into the Marianas Trench...deep sea disposal would bury the stuff in deep sediements...neither approach, to the best of my knowledge, envisions detonation of containment vessels at 30000m for maximum dispersal...sounds like a bad idea to me. If it worked solar impact sounds like a great idea...but just one bad launch would put the public off its feed on the program, I would imagine. Off planet storage is the ultimate solution, I think...although I'd rather set it on a rock orbiting Saturn than shoot it into the only star we've got...just to be on the safe side. If we get our space elevator built this century I imagine that is how we will get rid of the stuff. What a great discussion topic! I feel like a high school debater again! If our esteemed moderator feels compelled to steer us back to Winona issues I will remind her that a significant portion of the electricity that runs her coffee maker in the morning comes from the Prairie Island reactors. :-) Bob Sebo Winona -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
